Kerstin JURDELL

I am 65 years old, trained by Leif Dag Blomkvist, Dean and Doreen Elefthery. Certified 1990 as Director of Psychodrama and 1995 as TEP by the Nordic Board of Examiners in Psychodrama, Group Psychotherapy and Sociometry. I have a Degree of Bachelor in Social Science and a MA in the Theory of Practical Knowledge. I am also psychotherapist step 1 at Karolinska Institute. I have been a teacher since 1989 at the Swedish Moreno Institute and founded 2000 The Swedish Psychodrama School, where I am a main trainer at basic and advanced level.

I have been working as University Lecturer since 1990 with university topics as social work, ethics/leadership and psychology of religion.

I have been an International Trainer and Educator since 1994 in Germany, Finland, Norway, Portugal and Russia and been a leader of workshops in International Psychodrama Conferences in USA, Russia, Germany, Finland, Norway, Great Britain, Portugal, New Zealand and Greece.

I have also been working with social work and in psychiatry for many years before I started a private practice as psychotherapist and supervisor.

Today my main interest is sociopsychodrama. I am a trainer in an Erasmus project for implementing sociodrama in youth field organisations in different countries in Europe in cooperation with FEPTO. I am also writing a master thesis about sociopsychodrama. From morenian theory I see the philosophical and artistic parts important.

I have also written a master thesis about Surrealistic Psychodrama where surrealism, Jungian psychology and mythological topics play an important role in the directing of psychodrama.
